Lets go seniors! For Senior Pride Fridays, staff members and students were encouraged to wear mix matched clothing. Students wore mix matched shoes and socks.

We care about our staff! This Wednesday, staff members were provided with delicious free breakfast and DIY scrubs by Ms. John and Ms. Grant to destress. What an amazing way to celebrate self-care and give back to the teachers!

Last Friday, our Panther Student Council and Student Government were officially pinned. It was a momentously exciting, but earnest ceremony. Congratulations to the future leaders of our country. We cannot wait to see the changes you will implement into our school.

Us panthers are always proud of our culture! Today we shared our love for our countries by wearing things that represent our culture.

What have you learned about your heritage?

What is the biggest issue facing your community, and what should be done about it? Kaya Amedee took part in SoapboxNYC as our school representative to urge our community and Chancellor Banks about police brutality. Amazing job to Kaya, her family and to the educators who supported her, Ms. Waters and Mrs. G. Jones. Change begins with you! Thank you Kaya for showing us the way.

Ms. Waters would like to share to our students, "I am Panther Proud of our Project SoapboxNYC represenative Kaya Amedee, Class 701. Thank you to all our participants and the Project Soapbox Team! Please know that you can achieve when given opportunities"

That’s a wrap for our Panther Toy Drive. 🥳 This year thanks to our donors we were able to share with 135 students a holiday gift!! 🤯
And don’t leave out a small raffle for our donors too for their generosity. Congrats Ms. Roberts!

Schoolwide “Ugly” Holiday Sweater Contest from to celebrate the holidays. Spreading cheer from the 45 community to you.

Throw back to last year when our 45 families won the Holiday Chicken Lotteries! We were able to give out 22 chickens and some gift cards! Special thank you to Ms. Lobban and Ms. Jakes for putting it together.
